modern seamless knits for the whole family

Chrysanthemum Shawl – a big bountiful lace bloom!

Alexa is constantly knitting, and this is one of the more recent creations off her needles… a big spring green version of the Chrysanthemum Shawl. It looks like she has caught the lace bug this season too…

When I originally created this design, I knit it in vivid pink, so Alexa’s version is quite a departure… but still very much in keeping with the botanical nature of the design!

Alexa knit hers in DK weight yarn, so it came out a little bigger than the original sample which was made in sock weight.
